A Truth Too Ugly for Americans

If Sam throws Joe into a den of wolves, who is responsible for the death of Joe, Sam or the wolves?

If a cabal of board directors from oil, weapons and bank corporations (acting through their well-lobbied government) throws young people into a foreign den of war, who is responsible for the deaths of the young people, the patriots defending their homes and families from foreign invaders or the cabal of corporate captains who threw the young people into the den war?

Over 4 300 American military personnel have been killed in Iraq since the (illegal) invasion in 2003. Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction, they supported no terrorist organizations, had nothing to do with 9/11 and posed no threat to Americans. Who killed the Americans?

Who killed the 55 000 Americans in Vietnam? The Vietnamese who fought like fierce wolves, or the people who sent the young Americans to confront the wolves on the other side of the world?

Just asking now that a debate rages about the merits of a new film called American Sniper.
